The European long-distance hiking trail, the E1, and the European Bicycle Route, the R1, only intersect once. This intersection is found in the Teutoburg Forest and is both the trigger for the international E1|R1 Photo Award as well as from where the award drew its name – initiated by the Competence Center for Hiking, WALK, in Detmold, and backed by the Deutscher Wanderverband (DWV) as well as the European Ramblers’ Association (ERA).

The first international photo contest calls for both hobby and professional photographers to partake in separate competitions, submitting the most beautiful and spectacular photographs taken in the direct surroundings of both trails. A total prize pool of approximately 50,000 Euros is up for grabs, which will be awarded by an independent Jury in the context of celebrations for the 118th German National Hiking Day (118. Deutscher Wandertag) in 2018 in Detmold.

The submission period for the photo contest will start on the 1st of December 2017 and will end on the 31st of March 2018.

Photo enthusiasts and professional photographers can submit their photos in four categories: Culture and Landscape, Man and Nature, Sky and Earth as well as Animals and Nature. Professional photographers must submit a series of between 3 and 4 scenes while a single scene will suffice when submitting for the amateur award.
